Positioned in Port Willunga’s tightly held Old Survey Area, Rosa’s Cottage presents an exceptional and rare opportunity to secure a historic coastal property on a substantial 2,758m² allotment, less than 200 metres from the sensational beach.

Nestled in a peaceful parkland setting with extensive frontage to Linear Park Reserve, this charming 1850 homestead combines heritage character with thoughtful modern additions. Originally a farmer’s cottage, the home retains its authentic features including stone fireplace and magnificent slate flooring.

A sympathetic extension introduces a light-filled, north-facing living room with tranquil garden views and split-system air conditioning. The formal dining room, complete with an open fireplace, offers an inviting space for entertaining, or as a second living room.

The country-style kitchen features massive slate flagstone flooring, electric stove and oven, dishwasher and modern cabinetry, and opens directly to a private courtyard for relaxing and alfresco dining. A versatile floorplan provides two or more bedrooms, studies, and a generous sized bathroom including a large shower and bathtub.

Adding further appeal is a fully self-contained studio, complete with bathroom, kitchenette, living room, study, north-facing windows and a covered outdoor entertaining area, perfect for guests, extended family, or creative pursuits.

Port Willunga has soft white sand and crystal-clear waters, and is perfect for swimming, surfing, snorkelling, fishing, kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding. This beautiful bay is ideal for families and offers plenty to discover including ancient fossils, reefs, shipwrecks and old jetties.

This peaceful hideaway offers the best of all worlds: a quiet, secluded country meets beachside vibe, and walking distance to the Star of Greece Restaurant and Aldinga village’s cafés, bars, restaurants and boutiques and schools.
